The French Guys

Wow...The French Guys Bakery was an amazing find at the edge of Capitol Hill. Stopping here was just a serendipitous wild hair.....I plucked it and what a find!!! This small patisserie/bakery is located across the street from the former Harvard theater. The seating is tight, cozy with mellow but bustling vibes. Service was friendly and efficient. The latte was delicious, no bitter afterbite. The pastry choices were right on.....an almond pear tart ( heated)●●●● and the absolute top - of -chart passionfruit coconut mango creation. Food love ❤️ 😍 personified!!●●●● Holy mother of mango.....yowzah! Prices were reasonable for value delivered. Not cheap.....but totally worth it! Handicap ♿️ doable but be aware of the tight spaces. Small upstairs with tables and a few outside seating situations as well. Final take.....French Guys Bakery is highly recommended... Tres Bien!!!!

This bakery has such a warm, cozy vibe. The moment you walk in, the smell of fresh bread and coffee hits you, and it instantly sets the mood. They offer a great variety of pastries and baked goods, so there’s plenty to choose from. The highlight for us was the flan—absolutely amazing. The aroma and texture were spot on, smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The canelé was also really good, nicely baked with that classic flavor and structure. We were a bit disappointed with the cappuccino, though. The espresso tasted over-extracted and slightly burnt, which took away from the drink. Overall, still a pretty good experience, especially for the pastries and atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

What a lovely experience. It’s a cozy setting with delicious pastries. My latte was as close to perfection as I’ve ever had. And great staff too. I highly recommend.

Delicious!! Their bakery selection is wonderful in both sweet and savory options. I decided to start with something rather straightforward in the almond pan au chocolate and every bite was perfect. We were going to finish eating on our walk but ended up staying upstairs because that seating area is just too perfect not to enjoy.

☕ 🍯 I had a cinnamon honey latte and it was delicious. The special menu states that it's iced but I wanted it hot and they happily obliged. It was really good. 🍳 Breakfast Biscuit - this was perfect. The biscuit was flaky and crispy, the egg was fluffy. It was a perfect compliment to the coffee. 🥐🍫 Chocolate Croissant- Fresh, crispy and flaky 😊 Although there was a line out the door (not surprising now that I've tried the food) they moved quickly and efficiently. The Cafe itself was very cute. I'll definitely be back.
